Your photo reminds me of the cell phone commercial where the guy puts his phone down on the table and his screensaver is a very big spider and the woman starts screaming and her husband "kills" the phone with his shoe. <br />Your photos are so beautiful and clear, but I hope I never run into a spider that big around here, I might never go outside again!Rose @ Confessions of a Curbshopaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937964580748244670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-24345042955870319662011-08-12T22:07:24.500-04:002011-08-12T22:07:24.500-04:00hi Olive, I remember the routine well, getting my ...hi Olive, I remember the routine well, getting my son ready to head off to school. I still miss the back to school ritual every year as the shops get all their back to school items stocked. Your photos are beautiful, but spiders scare me. Yikes, thats a big one. I love the butterflies and I love Lantana. We've had so much rain in the past two weeks mine has grown over the walkway. Great post, beautiful colors. I fill like fall is close at hand when you start seeing the spiders make their webs everywhere.<br />Hope your weekend is sweet.<br /><br />~Emily<br />The French HutchThe French Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028597144785773804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-55039809170097188292011-08-10T15:21:46.841-04:002011-08-10T15:21:46.841-04:00Oh how I wish the butterflies would sit on our lan...Oh how I wish the butterflies would sit on our lantana for long enough for me to try and get some photos, yours are wonderful.LindyLouMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282788551449445133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-56832050940275374322011-08-09T18:59:52.049-04:002011-08-09T18:59:52.049-04:00WOW those are nice shots Olive!WOW those are nice shots Olive!Debbiedooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206855970605853635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208458117818248970.post-52407431723287149072011-08-08T20:06:47.491-04:002011-08-08T20:06:47.491-04:00Love, love Lantana!

I chopped it back about 3 wks ago and it's now waist higg again. This is by the walkway. I hate to cut it back again but every where we have it in the yard it's huge.<br />When we were kids we used to call that kind of spider a "writing spider".
